OMG at making all of those shapes fit harmonically into the music. O_O

They're not free animations--those bars are the actual relative pitches of the notes.

There is a program called Bandstand, which, when installed, weighs 3 Gigs (due to all the HQ samples), and plays any MIDI file in incredibly high quality sound.

Haji, could you maybe give the links to the actual MIDI files, I'd like to try them out in Bandstand. Thx.

Yeah, Bandstand has samples of professional musicians playing with many different attacks and styles on every single note of their instruments. As such, the sound it produces is phenomenal. I've heard the Bandstand output of full band music (for class), and the only ways you can really distinguish it from a real recording is:

1. intonation is too perfect
2. vertical alignment of sound is too accurate (although I hear it adds very small delays so that the sounds are just a bit offset to sound more real)
3. transitions and variations in tempo sound a little contrived
4. solos and such don't quite sound soloistic (timbre, intensity, vibrato, etc. details seem maybe not right)

But none of those things are knocks on the audio quality itself.

Can Bandstand create midi music too, or just play them?

That Final Fantasy one is very very impressive.
Act happy, feel happy, be happy, without a reason in the world. Then you can love, and do what you will.

By create do you mean the music notation (note entry) or the mixing/adding effects part? Afaik it just does the latter. I've never used it but I'm pretty sure what it just does is take MIDI input (which would give you the pitches and rhythms, dynamics, and I forget what else if any) and output a much larger audio file complete with all the fine tuning and using those better samples based on what you select (no doubt the output can be compressed to something like mp3). I mean, you can't have those samples and parameters in MIDI.

Or maybe somebody who actually knows what he's talking about wants to respond?

You've hit the nail with your response Myrmidon. I actually meant the former, if it can create the note entry. But I guess it can only do the latter and alter music not create it. Thanks for the response.

I only ripped the Megaman song to .mp3

I may be wrong or nub about this, but I dont think midi can have all those instruments....?

Yes, it is basically a player, altho with a lot of options. Like Myrmidon mentioned, it can even add variety to the sound in order to mimic a human performance, and the rate of which can be adjusted manually.

Also, you can use it to change the existing MIDI file in ways like adding more instruments, changing the existing ones, adding solo sequences, etc etc...

It's only drawback perhaps is that it will require at least a Gig of RAM to handle all those samples properly, so if you're short on RAM you better go download some now.

Mynock I dont have links to the actual midi files. I'll keep checking back to see if the author decides to host them somewhere though.

Its the animations inside the sequenser tracks that are really cool, but as for "midi" ther is one thing you have missunderstood as i see it.

Midi is not a particular type of sound, its merely a "language" that comunicates between your synthesizer and your soundcard, thus you can practically add any kind of sound from the synth to a midi tone.

So as a response to the topic starter, practically all music you hear on the radio wich has any kind of computer based sound in it is using midi, thus this would sound quality wise score pretty low, however im pretty sure that it was exactly these sounds the composer were after and therefore it doesnt matter.

Great stuff.

Haji - Why does it say "lemon" during the Megaman track?
returns upon momentous occasions.
